A Ukrainian refugee living in North Carolina with her U.S military boyfriend was fatally shot on Valentine`s Day, allegedly by a man police say she had previously dated in Ohio.

Kateryna Tovmash, 21, and her boyfriend Matthew Wade, 28, who was stationed at Fort Bragg, were found dead at a residence in Vass after police responded to a report of a shooting on Saturday, according to a statement by the Moore County Sheriff`s Office.

Police identified the shooter as Tovmash`s ex from Ohio, Caleb Hayden Fosnaugh, 25, who they said fled back to his home state after the shooting.

Authorities issued a warrant for Fosnaugh`s arrest on charges of breaking and entering and two counts of murder.

He was apprehended by police in Ohio in a coordinated effort with the state`s Coshocton County Sheriff`s Office that same day.

"This is a tragic and senseless loss of life. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims during this difficult time," Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said in a statement. "We are grateful for the swift coordination and assistance from our law enforcement partners in bringing this individual into custody."

One of Wade`s sisters wrote on Facebook that her brother`s funeral expenses will be covered by the military, but she shared a link to a fundraiser to help offset funeral and burial costs for Tovmash. The fundraiser says the 21-year-old Ukrainian had "moved to the United States to leave behind the war and begin a new chapter here."

Another sister of Wade`s posted on Facebook that Tovmash had been caring for her younger siblings when her ex entered the home and "forced one of her siblings to wake her" before he shot the couple in bed.

"Life is so unfair," she wrote. "No one should ever get a call saying their loved one was murdered. Especially not over something as small as jealousy."

Sources told local news station WRAL that Tovmash`s younger siblings had let Fosnaugh into the house, unaware of his intentions.

One of Tovmash`s brothers, who was not at the home during the crime, told followers on Instagram, "this is a second time for the past year, when a Ukrainian woman who is a refugee and is hiding for safety in North Carolina, gets murdered." He was referencing 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, who was killed on a commuter train last year.

"As much as I can be mad, upset, and wroth with God about what happened, I am thankful the murderer didn`t touch any of my younger siblings who were at the house during that time," he wrote.
